Why, in its reporting, does the Oxford Mail persist in the 21st century of giving people's ages? Surely, in most cases, a person's age is no more relevant thatn their sex, sexual leaning, colour, religion, or ethnicity? This, in the same way as government and local authority forms which also persist in knowing gender, colour and ethnicity - other than, perhaps, being able to 'tick boxes' with regard to bureaucratic targets and quotas to be met?
